It may or may not be the best thing depending on your security requirements. If you currently run inetd you need to add the following line to your /etc/inetd.conf file: swat stream tcp nowait/400 root /usr/local/sbin/swat swat It may already exist, although, it is probably commented out. Restart inetd however you wish and see that the port is open for connections: # /etc/rc.d/inetd restart # sockstat | grep 901 root inetd 713 7 tcp4 *:901 *:* Open a web browser and connect to hostname.your.net:901. Supply login information and you are ready to configure Samba. If you are just using the server as a home file server and don't require too many extras to start, this maybe the way to go. -- Mike Eubanks <mse_software@charter.net>
